Alright everyone, get your online browsers ready and your credit cards out. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially live on July 21st! If you have a Nordstrom credit card, you’ve probably been shopping the sale all weekend (Early Access to the sale opened to card holders on the 13th). As a card holder myself, I, along with the help of our lovely employee, Ella, have combed through the very large and overwhelming sale to pick out our favorite pieces for our blog readers.
Remember to act fast if you see something you like. This is Nordstrom’s biggest and most popular sale, during which they mark down new fall merchandise before it goes on the racks at full price. Items will sell out before you realize! If any of our picks below sell out, be sure to bookmark them as certain items will restock. The sale ends August 6th!
Happy sale shopping!

Cool Casual Clothing
What are this fall season’s trends you should be buying? Bold jeans, moto jackets, and funky sweaters. As we’ve mentioned on this blog before, Lani and I have been moving away from the toothpick skinny jean (gasp!) in favor of more daring and crazy styles. Our favorite example is the cropped flare jean, like this budget friendly pair by BLANKNYC. Not sure what you think? Check out our post on how to wear kick flares. For more fun denim styles, see anything by comfortable and fashionable favorite Frame.
